It's an EL Falcon radiator. The top hose is on the left side.

I thought that was for the header tank?

I agree, I think header tank. Commondores do the same. Someone will post a photo I imagine to clear the confusion.Nuts wrote:I thought that was for the header tank?

Started converting the dash to a bolt-in, using an extra overlap section welded on top, with about a dozen M8 rivnuts securing it in place.
Should make wiring up and accessing everything much easier later on. Hoping to be able to remove the whole dash intact with gauges, a/c, stereo wiring etc in place.
This dash had over 30 screw holes, parking brake holes etc etc across the bottom that I'm also welding up while it's out.

Made a better mini-harness to join the ECU and relay, came out much neater than the original U-shaped one I made.
As I'm running aftermarket air-con, I'm going to fill the cowl vents. I've also made a recessed area into the lower cowl for the ECU, Relay and CDI box to live.

No, first crack at a Megasquirt.
Hybrid was kind enough to modify my MS2 for me, so very lucky to have a solid starting point in my learning.

That seems like an age ago. Pretty sure warranty has well and truly run out

Picked up a couple of full sets of coupe seats last week, so started cleaning them and retrimming them to sell.
Forgot how much I hate doing the hogrings, but getting the hang of it again.
Six front buckets and 2 sets of rears to do.
